The actor Phil Daniels will appear at What Is Hip on Gorleston High Street on Saturday, September 19, from 1pm to 4pm, where visitors can take photos and purchase signed prints.

Mark Routledge, owner of What Is Hip, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be welcoming Phil Daniels.

“Quadrophenia means so much to so many people within the Mod scene and beyond, and Phil is obviously such an important part of that.

“We know there are going to be people across Norfolk and Suffolk who will be really excited to have the opportunity to meet him here in Gorleston.”

Mr Daniels’ role as Jimmy Cooper in the 1979 film Quadrophenia has made him an enduring figure in British pop culture, with the film’s portrayal of 1960s Mod life continuing to inspire new generations.

A selection of signed prints will be available on the day, priced between £20 and £40, with the option to have them personally dedicated.

Ahead of the event, Mr Daniels recorded a video message announcing his appearance, which has been shared on social media by both the shop and his team.

The visit comes during a busy period for What Is Hip, which recently completed a major refurbishment and recorded its busiest trading day ever during the reopening.

The shop is also expecting new stock from brands including Fila and Sergio Tacchini, which are closely associated with the subcultures the film Quadrophenia celebrates.

Mr Routledge said: “We’d love to see plenty of familiar faces here on Saturday, but also people who’ve perhaps never visited What Is Hip before.

“If you’re a fan of Phil, Quadrophenia, the music, the fashion or the culture around it, come down and say hello.”
